We're going up!
History was created in Saturday's Match of the Day, as a comeback victory over Stokes Valley secured Div 6 football next season for the Uni Stallions. The first half was an old fashion arm wrestle with the pesky Killer Bees punching well above their weight. Both teams created decent chances in the first half with only a magnificent clearing header on his own goaline by Lister, keeping the scores level.
0-0 HT
A second intercepted pass in sucessive games from Aitofi at the back let Stokes Valley steal the opener in the 58th minute. Stallions fans began to fear the worst and could see the Sunday paper headlines "Stallions stung by Bees", "Stallions drown in honey", "Buzz off Aitofi" etc...however this season's surprise package again demonstrated the composure they had shown all season after going down 1-0.
The Stallions rallied well and pegged one back 10mins later through Pandinho,who toed in from close range. Centreback T. Walker scored his first goal since 'Italia '90' on the Sega Master System, with a blasted finish on 80mins to seal victory.
The promtion dream now a reality for a club which began humbly with one man kicking a sock down a dorm hallway - A remarkable acheivement for a group of old state and public sector workers who don't care enough to train, but are instead driven by a love of the game...and beer.

Great report, StevieG; just not sure about the description '...a group of old state and public sector workers...'
To paraphrase a speights drinker, "You can call me old boy, but you can't call me a government employee."
Buzz off Atoifi? I heard different words being used on Saturday!
